♥I Found Out Why I'm Not Pretty♥

♡Technique!♡

Who would have thought it! (Well, probably a lot of people have thought it.) My technique of applying my foundation, my eyelashes, and my eyeliner has been off for the shape of my eyes.

I have been applying eyeliner to the area of the lower eyelid towards the outer corners. But after looking at the inspiration I posted last night, namely this one,

I realised that I should try this approach for giving that emphasis on the middle of the eye, which can make your eyes look more...erhm.. endearing? Is that what I want to say? Hahaha! I want to say "doll-like", but the whole eye is supposed to be "dolly". Oh well. Moving on!

The second thing I realised I needed to do was to sort of twist my eyelashes before I put them on. I realised this by accidentally squishing the end half of on of my eyelashes whilst putting on makeup and had a lightbulb-over-head moment. 

Ah-Ha!

It is exactly what I was trying to achieve. I don't even think I will need to double up my falsies. The effect here is that it makes my eyes look more rounded and my eyelashes more dynamic.

The lassst thing I discovered is that I desperately needed a good moisturizer (but was stubbornly waiting for money to be able to get my favourite), and really needed a new foundation. I really like Shiseido brand cosmetics but they are so expensive I just can't do it right now. I've had The Makeup Dual Balancing Foundation

 for a while and really liked it, but I thought I was just not applying it correctly. I think now it is just the makeup itself that doesn't work right for me. I use a primer, I exfoliate my skin, I was using  the Shiseido moisturizer. I finally started using a brush instead of fingers to apply it and that was when I realised the makeup just didn't work. It was always going to look chalky on my face.

Any tips you guys can give will be greatly appreciated!♡

Cheers,

Kat

That's Much Better! (And Some Makeup Photos!)

How do you like all the pink?

I really like this template. I got it off of this website. Cute, でしょう！

I need some help from you guys out there. I have a conundrum figuring out where and what to buy for my eye makeup. I've been struggling to figure out what kind of makeup I should use for my eyes. There are SO many kinds to look at. Let me give you some examples:

Those are only a few different kinds. But of course the possibilities are almost endless.

You may notice that these eyes are gyaru style. I have been refraining from using that term because I don't consider myself gyaru-- rather, I just want to look as cute and pretty as I can. 

It is a problem that I have caucasian eyes for the use of this kind of eye makeup. I have a hard time following the tutorials because some aspects of it don't deliver the same effects that they do on an Asian-looking eye. 

What I want, people, is a clean and simple eye makeup that gives a pretty 《ＰＯＰ》. 

Here are some pictures of my makeup trials:

A little too much eyeliner, no real eye enlargement.

Okay, but really just elongating my eye, and not adding much in terms of height due to lack of attention to the lower lid.

Same complaint as above.

This is my favourite look yet (except for the fact that I managed to do something very weird while putting on my foundation that made me look chalky). A Little too much eyeliner on top, but the lower lashes were awesome. I lost one of them, though, so I currently don't have any lower falsies. This look gave my eyes that enlargement I want with minimal makeup. My only complaint is that this look was a little more spiky and less soft and dolly like I want.

I'm not sure exactly where to take this at this point. I'll do a post on the looks I find most ideal in a minute.

Any help??
